Remote play on mobile data

Maheen387
Visitor

I am trying to connect my phone to my PS5 through remote play. It works through wifi, however, when doing it on 5G i get an error which says NAT Type failed.

 

Is there a way i could fix this and get an NAT Type while on mobile data?

You may be up against a limitation of EE's mobile network. The EE mobile network uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) resulting in a double NAT, which means that you don't get your own public IP address but share it with other users. So you can't be uniquely id'ed on the Net & therefore your LAN cannot be addressed from outside for unsolicited accesses. This is unlike fixed BB.

 

If that's the case there is nowt you can do to avoid it.
